About this photo
A smartphone screen displays a clean white interface with a green circular logo featuring an @ symbol, a smiley face, and two stylized hands. The main headline reads “Usernames are coming soon. Reserve yours today.” Below it, smaller text explains that a username will keep your phone number private and lets you add a key to control contacts. The top status bar shows 9:41, signal icons, and the placeholder “Username.” No other people, objects, or background details are visible.
